Guest SmugX Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi all. I'm a newbie here, and I've had a brief play with AutoIt, which looks very useful. Anyway, a quick question: the 'CDTray' function looks useful for what I want to achieve, but is there a way of determining whether the cd tray is open or closed at the moment? I've had a look through the docs, but can't see anything. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks, SmugX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 DriveStatus may help in determining if the drive is ready. Here is a sample of usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SmugX Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Thanks, MHz - but, unless I'm missing something, your FindCD function uses DriveStatus on the drive. DriveStatus returns 'NOTREADY' if the drive is open, but also if the drive is empty - meaning I can't tell the difference between the two states. Am I making sense?

Andre Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi, as far as i know there is know way to see if the cd-drive is open. (no logic inside the drive). Andre What about Windows without using AutoIt ?It would be the same as driving a car without an steering Wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Drache Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Oh well. Thanks anyway.If anyone thinks of anything, please let me know!Thanks,Neil.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>What will the eject function return if the drive's already open?Nevermind, it will always return a success if the drive isn't burn locked.I was thinking of the CDTray("drive","status") function Edited March 2, 2005 by Blue_Drache Lofting the cyberwinds on teknoleather wings, I am...The Blue Drache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
